I am sorry my chapters are so short but I promise I will make it up to you by updating regularly :)
"...Since you left without a warning..."
Chapter 11
About a week has gone by from that day and, to the people of Forks, me and Edward were officially a couple. However to say we were boyfriend and girlfriend seemed too little. I felt like we needed a title that meant more. Boyfriend and girlfriend told the people that we were together... involved together but it also told them that there wasn't must commitment in the relationship yet. Funnily enough, it was Jessica and Lauren that had made that comment.
Today Edward wants to bring me to his house and at first I was reluctant, but I agreed in the end. This time I planned on not doing anything that may tick Rosalie off. Of course, that meant I was having Italian at the Cullen's for dinner, then I would eat Italian with the Cullen's. After all, how bad can vampire company be when eating dinner in their house. However I couldn't do much about the human part just yet. If she was jealous of my humanity then, then she is going to be jealous now but at least I know we will grow to become like sisters.
Flashback
I was outside attempting to bring some life back into the old red Chevy that I am now suppose to called mine when Edward walked over to me. I blushed a deep red when I realized that I was covered in dirt, oil and sweat while standing in the presence on a Greek God, My Greek God. Of course, he never really seemed to care what I looked like. Whether I had horrible morning breath and hair or covered in dirt, sweat and oil.
"What's on the agenda for today?" I asked ignoring the way I look and trying to distract him from it as well.
"Hmmm..." I watched him frame his answer carefully. "What would you say to meeting my family?"
I gulped.
"Are you afraid now?" He sounded hopeful.
"Yes," I admitted; how could I deny it - he could see my eyes and in my posture. I was a terrible liar and, to be honest, I don't think I got much better at it as a vampire.
"Don't worry." He smirked. "I'll protect you."
"Let me rephrase that. I am terrified... Of your sisters." I empathized the word 'terrified'.
"What? Why?" He questioned.
"Rosalie, will hate me and Alice... Alice is going to force me to go shopping." I mock shuddered, showing my extreme distaste for Alice's favorite pass time.
Edward laughed, "Hey it's not funny. I fucking hate shopping."
"Now, now Bella. Watch your language." Edward pretended to scold me. I smiled and said, "I fucking detest shopping. I don't see what is so bad about my clothes, I dress for comfort not style."
"Right, Love, you can tell Alice that when you see her."
I snorted, "What and suffer her wrath... I would rather play Bella Barbie for the rest of my life."
End of Flashback
I heard as Edward car pulled into the driveway and I quickly ran downstairs. However, there was one thing that I couldn't change no matter how hard I tried or wanted it to and that was my stability on any surface. It didn't matter if that surface was flat, stone or full of mole wholes, I would always find myself falling to the ground. Eventually.
So, as I ran down the stairs, my foot caught on some invisible protrusion on the wooden floor and I found myself falling. I should have gotten use to the pain of the landings by now, but I haven't. As I fall I still wince at the eventual pain that I knew was coming. I closed my eyes and waited... And waited. But the connection with my body and the floor never came.
Instead I was in Edward's cool, stone arms, muttering a quiet, "Thanks."
"Are you okay?"
"Yeah, i'm fine. Thanks."
Edward looked at me worry, as if she was expecting me to get hit by lightning or have the ground open up beneath my feet.
"I'm not clumsy, I swear." Edward raised his eyebrows at me in a look that said 'Yeah and i'm not a vampire'. "Seriously, i'm not clumsy. It's just the floor hates me, the tables and chairs are bullies and the wall always gets in the way."
"Okay." Edward said, showing no sign that he believed me.
"Look, I'm trying really hard not to think about what I'm about to do, so can we go already?" I asked.
"And you're worried, not because you're headed to meet a houseful of vampires, but because you are scared of my sisters correct?"
"That's right," I answered immediately, hiding my surprise at his casual use of the word.
He shook his head. "You're incredible."
"Thanks, I try my best." I answered and grinned at him.
